Forthcoming talk

Hacking the Internet of Things (IoT)

Thursday 14 May 2015

8.00pm at the offices of Sopra Steria, Hemel Hempstead, HP2 7AH

The IoT is a paradigm of how devices are now interconnected by various media to each other locally and across the Internet, allowing them to exchange information or to interact with us. You can control the heating in your home from a smartphone or monitor the hundreds of buoys free floating in ocean currents. IoT has great potential for aiding both us and malicious activities. This talk discusses the IoT and its potentials, followed by discussions and demonstrations of how the IoT can be hacked to reveal details of our interactions or take control of the environment around us.

It includes a demonstration of RFID can be compromised by looking at an attack on a RFID based door access controller.
